    Default dvr-ms files and Samsung LED TV shows narrow videos

    Hi,

    I am trying out Mezzmo (I have tried several servers and Mezzmo is the best so far). With my Samsung UE40D8000 TV, dvr-ms files actually play!
    Unfortunately the picture is about 30 to 50% narrower than it should be - even narrower I think than 4:3. Can it be corrected to widen it?
    Info: Files recored from UK terrestrial TV - usually show at 16:9.
    The SamsungC profile was selected.
    Server is 32 bit Win Vista (hope to upgade to Win7 soon).
    The ffmpeg info is below. The info at the bottom states 4:3 - probably the previous program is 4:3, then the file switches at the end of that programme?

    Interestingly, when I play this on a Samsung Blu-ray using its own DLNA client (the cheapest one which does 3D) - it uses the Samsung BDP-3D profile, and does play at the right width - BUT only plays about 30s to 1 minute before blanking and going to the next video. I switched the TV's profile from C to BDP-3D, but that had no affect on the aspect ratio. Does this mean the TV is the problem, and if so can the Blu-Ray premature end be fixed instead?

    I also noticed that the playback on TV and the Blu-Ray was not as smooth as the original - is this a frame rate issue which is native to DLNA or dvr-ms?

    Hope you can help.
    Best regards
    Steve
